AGITPROP is an international festival of films that promote genuine peoples' struggles all over the world. It takes the role of giving a much needed venue for films and filmmakers that dare present social realities, often silenced and confused by the dominant modes and channels of information. It is for films that take on the issue of imperialism and neoliberal globalization, liberation struggles, genuine democracy, human rights, and social justice among others.
The name of the festival takes its inspiration from the educational/cultural campaign in the Soviet Union during the 1920s after the October Revolution, when films took the role of arousing and educating the masses.
